Entre el Neorrealismo portugués y la poesía impura española: Aproximaciones a un mapa ibérico del compromiso

Abstract

This article is located in the innovative line that Iberian Studies have opened in order to underline the aesthetic and ideological parallels between Spanish poetry and Portuguese poetry from the late 1920s to the 40s. The possibility of constructing a unique map of poetic commitment that includes the two great peninsular literatures leads us to address the synchronies and symmetries that exist between the Portuguese poets of Presença and the Spanish poets of the group of 27 on the one hand, and the neorealist poetry of the collection ‘Novo Cancioneiro’ and the committed Spanish poets of the Second Republic or the Civil War on the other hand. In both countries, it is observed that the aesthetic avant-garde has been overcome by the political avant-garde based on comparable social, historical and literary imperatives.
